Pillar & BanknoteBard
BanknoteBard
Hey Pillar, I’ve been daydreaming about creating a sort of living history map for banknotes—what if we could build a digital archive that tells each note’s story but in a neat, chronological flow? It’d be a mix of my whimsical narratives and your love for structured timelines. What do you think?

Sounds great, but we need a solid plan first—timeline, metadata fields, a clean database schema, and a version‑controlled repository. Your narratives can be the narrative blocks, and I’ll set up the chronology and tagging system so every note’s story is searchable and displays in order. Let’s draft a quick outline and keep the scope tight; otherwise we’ll end up with chaos instead of clarity.

Alright, here’s a quick skeleton so we’re not chasing rabbits:
1. Timeline layer – a simple table with “Note ID”, “Issue Date”, “First Circulation Date”, “Last Circulation Date”.
2. Metadata table – fields like “Country”, “Denomination”, “Designer”, “Printing Press”, “Security Features”, “Color Scheme”.
3. Narrative blocks – a separate text field that stores the story you write for each note, linked by Note ID.
4. Tagging system – a tags table where each tag (e.g., “Revolution”, “Renaissance”, “Modernist”) maps to one or many notes.
5. Repository – a Git repo with JSON or Markdown files for each note, version‑controlled, with a simple README explaining the schema.
We keep it tight: just the core tables and a few example notes to bootstrap the content. Once we’re happy with the shape, we can expand. Sound good?
